OK, not gonna tag this thread because it’s not really about the parasha at all but it’s just a tangent that this reminds me of.

My brother is a concert violist. He’s amazing. This story is not about him. When he was much younger, he studied with a viola teacher in town. They would have recitals…

#TheCompleteBritten #19

Etude for solo viola (1929)
